Essex is a county of timber-framed cottages inland and interwar and modern estates along the Thames corridor. That is exactly the kind of building stock a media wall has to be drawn around, so we allow for it at survey stage rather than on fitting day — walls get checked for wind and plumb, floors for level, and the setting-out is taken from the worst reading, not the best.
How we approach it
The difference between a fitted job and a fitted-looking job is the setting out. For media walls & tv units in Essex we rod the job first, so what arrives on site already accounts for the bows, the skirting and the ceiling line.
How we build it
Timber is chosen for the room it is going into. Painted work is built in tulipwood and moisture-resistant MDF because they hold a crisp arris and take a sprayed finish without grain rise. Where the grain is meant to be seen we use European oak, walnut or ash, with veneers laid so the figure runs continuously across a set of doors.
Finish and materials
Every finished job gets a short handover: what the surface is, how to clean it, and how to adjust a hinge if a door drops after the heating has been on for a season. Adjustment is normal in timber and takes about two minutes once you know which screw to turn.

Fit & handover
We fit, scribe, adjust and touch in, then walk you through care and adjustment before we leave.
Straight answers
Media Walls & TV Units in Essex — common questions
Can we run it in oak rather than paint?
Yes. Oak veneer over ply is the usual choice for a large panel because solid oak that wide will move seasonally. The visible edges are lipped in solid so it reads as timber throughout.
How do you hide the cables?
Conduit inside the carcass from the screen position down to the equipment bay, with brush plates at each end. Mains and data are run separately to avoid interference, and we leave a draw cord in for whatever you add later.
Can you build in a fireplace as well?
Yes. Electric fires are straightforward — they need a power feed and a stated clearance. Anything burning fuel needs a hearth, a flue and a HETAS-registered installer, and the joinery is designed around their requirements, not the other way round.
Can it be free-standing so it moves with us?
A base unit can be. The upper panel and screen surround need fixing to the wall for safety, so a media wall is generally fitted furniture.
How long does a bespoke job take from order to fitting?
Most fitted furniture runs four to eight weeks from approved drawings to fitting day. Kitchens, staircases and timber windows are longer at eight to fourteen weeks because the components are larger and the finishing schedule is longer. We give you a date band at quotation and confirm the fitting week once the drawings are signed off.
